Brexten's Baptism May 2012

Hi! The Thomas Family is alive and doing well. I just got around to figuring out what the heck went wrong with my blog page.  We are fortunate enough to be happily settling in to our new home in Colorado. Brexten was baptized in May 2012, and this is one of our most recent family photos.  I now have an 8 year old and it makes me feel like I have ventured into the "seasoned" mom stage of my life.  Kembrie is 5 and going into Kindergarten this fall...she can hardly wait until she gets to go to school.  Taylee will be 2 in a few weeks...Yes some of you may be shocked that I have neglected to ever post or introduce our little tornado, but hopefully I can keep my updates more consistant once I figure this new blog layout.  More to come soon...Jen

We wish you a Merry Christmas!

As Kembrie so sweetly would say, "I would like a Swan Palace this year".

She must have been a good girl because that is exactly what she got.

She loves to play with things that have little pieces, and trust me this

palace has plenty of little people, little food, little chairs, little horses, etc.

Santa delivered lots of toys to our house this year.

Among the favorite was the Nerf turbo blaster for Brexten.

I actually was a little nervous for too much rough housing,

but Brexten is pretty good to shoot the target he also got.

It's Bryan who likes to get carried away with other people.

All ready to crawl into bed on Christmas Eve Night.

Kembrie, Brexten and cousin Abbie.

All dressed up for Christmas Sunday. I absolutely loved red this year

as you can tell, but Brexten and Kembrie didn't mind.

Our annual pose in front of the Christmas tree.

This year for Christmas Grandma Vivi came over and made

the cutest Gingerbread House with the kids while Mom & Dad

went out to our own Christmas Party with friends.

I think they did a great job! Although we did complain of bellyaches

from too much eating of the decorations.

Winter Wonderland

This year has been extremely cold, but there has been enough snow

to build a fabulous snowman that was even taller

than Brexten and Kembrie.

Bryan did a great job helping the kids roll the snow into huge balls

while I was creative enough to find whoppers, M&M's, a hat and scarf, and a real carrot nose.

Happy Halloween

What a warm Halloween we had this year. It was so great that the kids didn't have to cover their costumes with coats like always. You could actually see how scary our Bumblebee transformer was, and how lovely our sweet Cinderella looked. Bryan had a great time taking them around our neighboorhood and I loved carving pumpkins with them this year.

I love cousins, they love me, We are a Happy Family

Kembrie, Kenadee, Morgan, Ethan, & Brexten Thomas

Wow what cute kids the Thomas clan has. My kids always love playing

with their cousins. Brexten wants Ethan to come over to

our house about once a month and I am constantly explaining

why he can't because he lives in Arizona.

So when he comes to town, we make sure they get together

and have some buddy time, since they are completely

outnumbered with girls. Kenadee and Brexten Love to

play together, just the other day they were at Grandma Debbie's

and of course got her to take them up to the Clearfield

High track to race. However, since Brexten is just a wee bit

competitive and Kenadee won the race, he said that next time

she has to wear flip-flops. Although it would be ideal for KJ

to play with Morgie who is only 1 year younger,

she seems to try and keep up with the bigger kids.

They really do love their cousins.

We Play-Coach Soccer.

Our first official season in the AYSO of Syracuse and

Brexten is thrilled to be a star player on the

Green Giants team. Coached by none other than

his super sports enthusiast DAD!!

See how excited those star soccer players look, listening

intently to Coach Thomas' directions. Well at least some of them

are listening. Now the question of each game is

"Which goal is ours?"

The Green Giants were often known to score an extra

goal or two for the other team and actually cheer for them too.

What great team spirit! They really were adorable to watch.

I even chimed in and coached my very own game one Saturday

when Bryan had to miss out and work.

My What a Lovely Gown!

It is official. My little Kembrie turned 3 years old.
For the past 3 months we have been discussing her birthday

party and she really wanted to have a Cinderella party.

We sure did dress up, and so did everyone else.
Yes, and we did have a transformer at our Princess party.
That's what you get when your party is a few weeks before
halloween.

I made her a special little Cinderella doll cake that was

only big enough to feed the birthday princess.

I tried to match her dress the best I could, and I was quite proud that

after 5 years I can still pull off a cute cake (in less than 3 hours too).

Everyone else got pink sprinkle cupcakes.

One of Kembrie's favorite things to do this summer was blow bubbles
every chance she got. I couldn't resist this picture with
her princess hat on backwards. We always have a great time with KJ.


Happy Birthday Little Princess!
